Rocky Road Brownie Bites...

For my baking class last week I had to write a paper about an ingredient and I chose nuts. So I wrote about the three most important and most used nuts in the kitchen which are 1. Almonds, 2. Walnuts & 3. Hazelnuts. I also decided last minute that I needed to make somethine to bring to the class so I found this recipe on Foodnetwork.com with Almonds and made these cute little brownies. They are very tastey and easy to make. Here is the recipe if you would like to try them for yourselves. On a side note the baking might need to be reduced, my oven in my apt cooks very quickly so I baked them for 8-10 mins but its up to you! Enjoy!!

Rocky Road Brownie Bites



1/2 cup butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup blanched almonds, chopped or slivered almonds
24 mini-marshmallows

Equipment: Mini-muffin tin or regular

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Over hot water in a small bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together. Let cool to almost room temperature while you prepare the rest of the recipe.

In a mixer or with a whisk, whip the eggs with the sugar until fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and salt with a wooden spoon. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir. Add the flour and stir in only until incorporated. Add nuts and mix briefly.

Grease a non-stick mini muffin (or regular) tin and divide the batter evenly by spoonfuls filling each 3/4 full. Top each with a mini marshmallow, pressing it in slightly. Bake for 20 minutes for chewy brownies and 25 minutes for cake-ier brownie bites. Let cool then ease them out of the pan.
